Pacaso Establishes New Category of Second Home Ownership and Delivers Strong Growth in Successful First Year

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pacaso, the leading technology-enabled  real estate marketplace that helps people buy and co-own a luxury second home, today announced that the company generated nearly $300 million in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021.

"Pacaso's first full year was a success, delivering on our mission to make second home ownership possible and enjoyable for more people and their families," said Austin Allison, Pacaso Co-Founder & CEO.  "Our modern approach to second home ownership for ⅛ the cost is resonating with buyers and resulted in nearly 400 Pacaso unit sales last year. We are creating a new category of second home ownership, powered by our technology-enabled marketplace and curated selection of the best second homes in top destinations."

Approximately 87% of Pacaso owners are first-time second home owners who purchased ⅛ to ½ ownership in high-end second homes.  With a dedicated home manager as the single point of contact, in-house property management and an easy-to-use owner's app, Pacaso provides a fully-managed, turnkey owner experience. To date, Pacaso owners have overwhelmingly rated their stays positively with a customer satisfaction (CSAT) score of 4.5 / 5 - one of the most important metrics for Pacaso's owner-centric business model.

"In 2022, we will be focused on accelerating growth, while making further investments in technology to enhance the Pacaso owner experience, increasing our supply of luxury listings, expanding into approximately 30 new markets globally and aggregating buyer demand. Pacaso is laying the foundation in these early days to address the massive long-term global opportunity available to the company as we continue to build upon our first-mover advantage," concluded Allison.
